Civic Trust Award

This project embodies the spirit and ethos of Roffey Park, an internationally renowned leadship institute, and significantly improves existing facilities. 60 new en-suite bedrooms are arranged around a new quadrangle. A second courtyard, created between the existing buildings and a new buffet wing, links to a new seminar and syndicate room building. The facilities are locates in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the strategic gap between Crawley and Horsham, and this inspiring landscape informs the design. The natural forms and colours of the surrounding Sussex countryside have been translated into curvaceous shapes and harmonious interiors, which encourage personal development and growth. Named 'The Meadow' by the client, the facilities provide tranquil and reflective spaces for people to think.
